Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a compact container for
cosmetics including a second inner container configured to be
placed on the top of a first inner container lid of a first inner
container and to be sealed with the first inner container lid. With
this configuration, different cosmetics may be contained in the
first and second inner containers, respectively, and only the
second inner container may be opened and used. In addition, when
not in use, the cosmetics contained in the first and second inner
containers may be completely separated from each other. In
addition, when the first inner container lid is opened, the first
inner container lid may be used as a palette. Thus, the cosmetics
of the first and second inner containers may be easily mixed and
used without carrying a separate palette or adding a separate
palette configuration to the compact container.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] In general, color cosmetics contain pigments and improve
aesthetics through adjustment of skin tone, unlike basic cosmetics
that nourish the skin.
[0003] These color cosmetics are largely classified into base
makeup that makes skin color even and covers skin imperfections and
point makeup that partially enhances the three-dimensional look of
lips, eyes, and nails. Base makeup usually includes makeup base,
foundation, powder, etc., and point makeup usually includes
lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and the like.
[0004] In addition, foundation, which is a kind of base makeup, is
classified into solid foundation, liquid foundation, and gel
foundation depending on the form of cosmetic. Solid foundation has
excellent covering function, but tends to clump at the time of
correcting makeup. Liquid foundation has excellent adhesion, but
has poor persistence. For this reason, recently, gel foundation
having excellent durability and good adhesion when applied to the
skin is preferred.
[0005] Briefly explaining packaging of gel foundation and use
thereof, a user presses a glass or tube container filled with gel
foundation to discharge the gel foundation onto the user's hand or
a cosmetic tool such as a palette. Then, the user applies the gel
foundation to the skin using a puff or by hand. Recently, a method
in which gel foundation is impregnated into a foamed urethane foam
and embedded in a compact container is widely used.
[0006] Korean Patent No. 10-1734181 (Title: COMPACT CONTAINER
CAPABLE OF ACCOMMODATING TWO COSMETICS) discloses a configuration
consisting of an outer container having an open top, an outer
container lid coupled to one side of the outer container, an inner
container mounted inside the outer container and having a first
accommodating space therein, and an inner container lid coupled to
one side of the inner container and having a lower portion in which
a second accommodating space is formed, wherein the second
accommodating space is formed to face the first accommodating
space, and the second accommodating space and the first
accommodating space are sealed together when the inner container is
closed with the inner container lid.
[0007] That is, according to the configuration, when the inner
container is closed with the inner container lid, the inner
container lid is provided with the second accommodating space that
faces the first accommodating space of the inner container.
Accordingly, when the inner container is closed with the inner
container lid, the first accommodating space of the inner container
and the second accommodating space of the inner container lid are
sealed together with the inner container lid.
[0008] However, in the case of the above-described compact
container, the first accommodating space of the inner container and
the second accommodating space of the inner container lid are
opened together when the inner container lid is opened. Thus, even
when only a cosmetic contained in the second accommodating space of
the inner container lid is used, a cosmetic contained in the first
accommodating space of the inner container is also exposed to the
outside.
[0009] In addition, since the screen net is installed in the second
accommodating space to separate the first and second accommodating
spaces facing each other, the second accommodating space cannot
accommodate solid cosmetics. In addition, despite the presence of
the screen net, it is impossible to completely separate the first
and second accommodating spaces from each other, so there is a
possibility of a cosmetic in the first accommodating space and a
cosmetic in the second accommodating space being mixed.
[0010] In addition, according to the related art, when the first
accommodating space is filled with gel foundation, the second
accommodating space is filled with solid powder, the inner
container lid is closed, and the foundations are stored, the
moisture of the gel foundation contained in the first accommodating
space rapidly evaporates and the gel foundation is adsorbed to the
solid powder contained in the second accommodating space.
Consequently, the gel foundation contained in the first
accommodating space is hardened and thus cannot be used.
Accordingly, in the related art, there is a problem in that the
first and second accommodating spaces cannot be filled with gel
foundation and solid powder, respectively.
[0011] In addition, in the related art, it is possible to store two
or more cosmetics in the first accommodating space of the inner
container and the second accommodating space of the inner container
lid, but a function to mix and use the cosmetics is not
provided.

rotation that reverses the up-down direction.
[0065] In addition, a puff storage 42 is formed on the top surface
of the second inner container 40 by the configuration of a
ring-shaped protrusion 41, and a puff 70 is stored in the puff
storage 42. In this case, the top surface of the second inner
container 40 on which the ring-shaped protrusion 41 is formed means
the top surface of the second inner container 40 based on a state
in which the second inner container 40 is placed on the first inner
container lid 30.
[0066] In addition, the ring-shaped protrusion 41 is configured to
be in contact with the surface of the mirror 16 of the lid 11 when
the lid 11 is closed. Accordingly, the second inner container 40
and the first inner container lid 30 are sequentially pressed by
the lid 11 to enhance sealing of the first and second inner
containers 20 and 40.
[0067] When an impregnation member impregnated with the first
cosmetic 50 is inserted into the first inner container 20, the
impregnation member is impregnated with the first cosmetic 50.
[0068] In addition, the impregnation member may consist of one or
more selected from the group consisting of butadiene rubber (BR),
styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), natural rubber (NR), natural rubber
styrene butadiene rubber (NRSBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber
(NBR), wet urethane, dry urethane, polyether, polyester, polyvinyl
chloride, polyethylene, latex, silicone, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA),
nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, and neoprene.
[0069] The fastener 60 is coupled to the first inner container 20
so that the impregnation member impregnated with the first cosmetic
50 is fixed in the first inner container 20.
[0070] The fastener 60 may consist of an adhesion portion 62 formed
in the inner side thereof and a coupling portion 63 formed to
extend downward from the adhesion portion 62. In addition, the
adhesion portion 62 is seated on the top of the inner wall of the
first inner container 20 to prevent an impregnation member 50 from
being separated. A coupling groove 61 is formed on the outer
circumferential surface of the coupling portion 63, and the
coupling groove 61 is coupled to a coupling projection 22a formed
on the inner circumferential surface of the first outer wall 22 of
the first inner container 20 to prevent the fastener 60 from being
separated from the first inner container 20.
[0071] In addition, the lid 11 of the outer container 10 closes the
outer container 10 while blocking the first inner container 20, the
first inner container lid 30, and the second inner container 40
from the outside.
[0072] FIGS. 5 to 8 are drawings showing use of a compact container
for cosmetics according to one embodiment of the present invention,
and a process of using the compact container for cosmetics
according to one embodiment of the present invention will be
described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.
[0073] First, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, FIG. 5 is a perspective
view of a compact container for cosmetics according to one
embodiment of the present invention, sequentially showing opening
of an outer container lid and opening of a second inner container
by rotation, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing use of a
second cosmetic contained in the opened second inner container
shown in FIG. 5.
[0074] As shown in the figures, the lid 11 of the outer container
10 is opened, and then the puff 70 is separated from the puff
storage 42 of the second inner container 40. Subsequently, the
second inner container 40 is rotated so that the second cosmetic
storage space 43 and the second cosmetic 80 accommodated therein
are opened upward, and then the second cosmetic 80 contained in the
second cosmetic storage space 43 is used using the puff 70 or other
cosmetic tools.
[0075] Next, referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, FIG. 7 is a perspective
view showing opening of the first inner container by rotation of
the first inner container lid when the second inner container is
opened according to FIGS. 5 and 6, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional
view showing use of a first cosmetic contained in the opened first
inner container shown in FIG. 7.
[0076] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the second inner container 40 is
detached from the first inner container lid 30 through rotation
that reverses the up-down direction, and the second cosmetic
storage space 43 is opened. Then, the first inner container lid 30
is rotated to open the first inner container 20. Consequently, the
first cosmetic 50 of the first inner container 20 and the second
cosmetic 80 of the second inner container 40 are exposed to the
outside. Then, when the first inner container lid 30 is inverted
through rotation that reverses the up-down direction, the cosmetic
mixing groove 31 is directed upward. In this configuration, the
first and second cosmetics 50 and 80 may be used by dipping the
puff 70 in the first and second cosmetics 50 and 80. In this case,
the first and second cosmetics 50 and 80 may be mixed in the
cosmetic mixing groove 31 of the first inner container lid 30.
[0077] In addition, upon opening, the first cosmetic 50 of the
first inner container 20 and the second cosmetic 80 of the second
inner container 40 may be used individually.
[0078] As explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8, the compact
container for cosmetics according to the present invention includes
a first inner container and a second inner container configured to
be placed on the top of the first inner container lid of the first
inner container and to be sealed with the first inner container
lid. With this configuration, different cosmetics may be contained
in the first and second inner containers, respectively, and only
the second inner container may be opened and used.
[0079] In addition, the compact container according to the present
invention includes a first inner container and a second inner
container configured to be placed on the top of the first inner
container lid of a first inner container and to be sealed with the
first inner container lid. With this configuration, in the single
compact container, different cosmetics may be stored in different
containers and may be used individually. In addition, the different
containers may be completely separated from each other, thereby
preventing mixing between cosmetics contained in the
containers.
[0080] In addition, since the first inner container lid may be used
as a palette, cosmetics contained in the first and second inner
containers may be mixed using the first inner container lid.
Accordingly, a user may easily mix and use different kinds of
cosmetics contained in the compact container without carrying a
separate palette or adding a separate palette configuration to the
compact container.
[0081] Although the present invention has been described through
limited examples and drawings, the examples and drawings of the
present invention are only provided to aid in understanding of the
present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various
modifications can be made to the above-described exemplary
embodiments of the present invention without departing from the
spirit and scope of the invention.
[0082] Therefore, the spirit of the present invention is not
limited to the described embodiments, and includes all
modifications equivalent to the claims as well as the claims
described below.
